From where does Mickey hail?

I was reading the paper today, and a strange thought occurred to me. The article which I was reading denoted Florida as Mickey Mouse's home state. If you were to ask me where did Mickey reside, the instantaneous response would probably be Orlando. Of course, it was in Burbank where Mickey was popularized through Walt Disney's animated shorts, so another might dente California as Mickey's provenance. It could even conceptually be Missouri (Disney's childhood home) or Illinois (he was born in Chicago). However, I believe (from watching One Man's Dream at DHS) that Mickey (then called Mortimer Mouse) was conceived on a cross-continental train ride, so, given this, a whole host of states could technically be Mickey's home state. Which particular one though? I don't know, but I have a strong conviction that we, as the TPI community, can resolve this quandary, by debating whether Mickey's home state is Florida, California, Missouri, Illinois, or another state entirely.
